The Siberian Seven refers to a family of persecuted Pentecostals in the Soviet Union who took up residency in the US embassy in Moscow.[1] The Vashchenko family, originally from Chernogorsk, Siberia, stayed there from June 1978 to June 1983[2] before they were allowed to leave to Israel on a tourist visa. They eventually settled in the United States.[3]
